Answer 2

I read something on a site recently that putting the toothbrush in the top rack of a dishwasher was the most effective way, but I haven't tried it myself. My concern is that my kids have battery powered toothbrushes and the dishwasher probably wouldn't be the best solution for the battery...

Answer 3

If boiling water killed germs then each and every wellbeing proffessional might use boiling water to kill germs of their gadgets, they does not purchase sterilizers so costly. The drinks i'm going to describe additionally are stable sufficient yet they could be way too costly for wellbeing proffessionals to apply and as nicely, they take too long to realize what a sterilizer achieves in under 2 hours. in case you have some clorhexidine, then pour some in a small bowl or cup (only sufficient to cover your little brush) and pass away all of it night long (or a minimum of six hours). No genuine might desire to rinse the comb afterwards. in case you do not have clorhexidine, then you definately might use some sodium hypochlorine (or chlorine or the deinfectant used on greens). Pour approximately 5 drops of it into 250 ml of water (some cup or glass of water) and pass away your brush all night long in it (a minimum of six hours as nicely). next day you will possibly desire to rinse extraordinarily plenty your brush (approximately thirty to sixty seconds in working water is sufficient). Then that's going to be purifier than once you first took it out of its unique case. Regards, Lifeguard.
